Yes, you can partition drives in a RAID array.

Keep in mind that those two drives in;

RAID 0 = 160 GB

RAID 1 = 80 GB

RAID1 or 0?

If you're thinking of using RAID0 click the "Storage" tab at the top of the page and read the Raptors in RAID article first. It inlcudes benchmarks for non-Raptor RAID as well.
